Summary:

Dark secrets and unspoken suspicions come between Zoey and Stevie Rae, putting their friendship - and the House of Night - at risk.
After Zoey Redbird and her gang have banished Kalona and Neferet from Tulsa, you'd think they'd catch a break. But with Zoey and her sexy warrior Stark both recovering from a brush with death, and the fledglings struggling to deal with the fallout from Neferet's reign of terror, a break is just not in the forecast. Zoey is haunted by her confusing yet elemental connection with A-ya, the ancient Cherokee maiden who was the only human able to tempt Kalona's body and soul. How will A-ya's pull on her affect Zoey's ability to resist the dangerouly seductive immortal?
Meanwhile, Stevie Rae, with her super red-vamp powers, always thought she could handle the stuff she's been keeping from her BFF. But the mysterious, threatening force lurking in the tunnels under the Tulsa Depot is spreading. Stevie Rae won't confide where she's been and what she's doing, and Zoey is beginning to wonder just how much she can trust the person she always thought would have her back.
Will their choices destroy them and will darkness consume the House of Night?


My Thoughts:

OMG!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! O....M....G...
the summary of this book does not do it justice! that wasnt a summary that was a feather on a bird. So much stuff happened in this book, you guys. Not even funny.
Stevie Rae is being really retarded in this book. She and Zoey are besties but she can't confide to her about the other red fledglings that are more dangerous and a new secret. a new deadly sexy secret.
This book was interesting because it provided two points of view. Zoey's point of view and Stevie Rae's. So you get the tension but you also get an insight into what Stevie Rae is going through when she hides a lot of this stuff from Zoey. Its intense.
Stevie Rae's dark fledglings are also being bitches because they want to destroy Stevie Rae, the only vampire that's stuck around to help them out. So they use Stevie Rae's new secret to help try and destroy her. Ha! good luck with that red fledglings...
Stark is also a main character in this book. Now that he is Zoey's warrior, he is always there for her. But not necessarily when she needs him the most. They are connected in a way that Heath and Eric both wish they were connected to her.
Eric is a dumbass.... That's all i have to say. Actually, its not. Zoey and Eric have a little argument that ends with Eric being a dick.
Aphrodite is also being a trooper now that she has her own warrior in Darius and is imprinted with Stevie Rae but all that changed....
Zoey also learns that Neferet and Kalona are claiming that they are Nyx and her consort incarnated. Which is bull. So Zoey and her friends have to go to the council of vampires to stop them from influencing the most bad ass vampires of all.
In the process, one of Zoey's closest friends bites the dust at the hand of Kalona. Needless to say, she kind of floats in heaven and her friend who died tells her that she shouldnt be there and to go back. The End. Can you believe it!? ummm... sorry Casts, this is not cool. You cant just leave the book with a cliffhanger... Totally not fair.

So now we have to wait..
and wait...
and w a i t
for the next book.
GRRRR

So... go to your local bookstore or order online just as long as you don't make this book full of forgotten pages.

More coming Soon!!
